Friday night treated us to a good game between
Montana and James Madison. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, Richmond and Northern Iowa play a thriller that wasn't settled till extremely late in the 4th quarter.
The Spiders are going to their first ever championship game, and did it when Eric Ward threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Joe Stewart with 14 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to beat Northern Iowa 21-20. At the end of 3 quarters, it looked as if the Panthers were going to be the ones playing for the FCS title, but 14 unanswered points by the Spiders changed it all.
Richmond quarterback Eric Ward threw for 2 touchdowns, and ran for another, amassing 313 yards of total offense in the win. Both road teams won this weekend. The FCS Title game will take place in Chattanooga Tennessee on Saturday at 8pm.
